Hey guys,
So normally I do my bloods every 3 months, but this time it had been 6 months and my blood results shocked me a little bit.
I didn't go the normal route for my blood test, I was in the hospital for something unrelated but this was revealed to me by the treating doctor, and haven't yet received full blood test results. The doc didn't mention anything about HCT
So the reference range for Haemoglobin is 13 to 17g/dl, although the doctor told me it should really be around 14. My current Hgb is 19 +
I went to the blood donation service but they sent me walking as they don't accept blood with a higher Hgb than 17.9.
The feedback I tend to get from GP's here is: just come off testosterone and you'll be fine. To which I reply: but I'm hypogonadal and will get extreme depression and anxiety, to which the offered solution is : "we have SSRIs for that. "(happened 3 times now)
I've been on "TRT plus" for the last few months meaning: 150mg testosterone Cypionate per week + 60mg masteron to control estrogen. I've dropped the dose to 75mg/week and ditched the Masteron until I get this under control.
Anyone any suggestions as to quickly bring hemoglobin down without a venesection? or at least low enough so I can go to the blood donation clinic again? I was well hydrated so that wasn't the problem. Hemoglobin has come back this high in 5 subsequent blood tests taken over the course of the last 7 days.
